Ravi Batra
Economic Advisor
Dr. Ravi Batra, Professor of Economics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, is the author of five international best sellers. He was the chairperson of his department from 1977 to 1980. In October 1978, because of dozens of publications in top journals such as the American Economic Review, Journal of Political Economy, Econometrica, Journal of Economic Theory, Review of Economic Studies among others, Batra was ranked third in a group of “superstar economists” selected from all American and Canadian universities by an article in the journal, Economic Enquiry. In 1990, the Italian prime minister awarded him the Medal of the Italian Senate for writing a book that correctly predicted the downfall of Soviet communism fifteen years before it happened.
